The Sensemakers Club is a community-powered education space where curious people come to grow without performing or pretending to have it all figured out.
Are you a sensemaker?
A sensemaker is someone who helps people understand complex, messy, or ambiguous situations and turn that understanding into better decisions and action.
It’s not a job title.
It’s a role someone plays when clarity is needed. Some people make sense for a season, and some of us are professionals and hobbyists.
You might be a sensemaker if you...
- Translate between teams
- Fix structural issues no one else sees
- Clock patterns others don’t
- Care deeply about clarity and inclusion
- Question what’s next
- Maintain systems that prevent chaos
- Document what others skip

Week of June 29, 2026
Abby Covert
Chief Sensemaker
Last week we hosted five sessions: Making Sense of Your Values in Tech (Monday, June 22), exploring where members' personal values come into tension with their work environments; Making Sense of the Future (Tuesday, June 23), the final episode of a series using fiction and futures thinking to examine blind spots, echo chambers, and what's already here but unevenly distributed; Making Sense of Neurodiversity & Neuroinclusion (Wednesday, June 24), a conversation about navigating diagnosis, medication, stigma, and workplace accommodation; Seekers Who Make Sense (Thursday, June 25), the closing session of a two-year run, exploring the Hermetic principles as a lens into universal patterns across religion, history, and the current moment; Making Sense of Language (Friday, June 26) was not transcribed for some reason, but I heard it was nerdy as all get out.
Themes from last week:
- The invisible labor problem
- Cycling between rigidity and softening
- Navigating systems not designed for you
